Enjoying Retirement in Good Health, Going For Zero
Walt and I have been vacationing quite often this winter. We visited the Miami area, went on a cruise, visited relatives in Florida and hope to head to Panama City, Panama soon. While a great deal of fun, visiting all these locations requires extensive walking and long days.
The biggest and most unique “folly” at Vizcaya is a piece of fantasy concrete architecture sitting in the water in front of the mansion called “The Barge”.
Walt and I know how important it is monitor our health through regular physicals, but there are many things we can do at home to stay on top of our health as well. One thing we have done recently is to take Omron’s Going For Zero Pledge.
I will work with Omron on their goal to change the public mindset from “checking” blood pressure to “monitoring”. Omron Healthcare, Inc. is the global category leader in personal heart health and wellness technology, with a heritage of over 40 years. Omron is the #1 doctor and pharmacist recommended home blood pressure monitor brand on the market, and the brand is known for its clinically-validated accuracy.
As you can see from the pledge above, it’s all the things that any healthy adult should be doing, especially retired adults like Walt and me. We already exercise, eat smart, drink in moderation, relax but the one thing we don’t do regularly is monitor our blood pressure.
Omron Healthcare’s company mission is Going for Zero™, the elimination of heart attacks and
strokes. The company has pursued its bold mission by developing new heart health technologies, working in collaboration with physicians, launching a national education campaign, and forming partnerships with groups like the American Heart Association to achieve breakthroughs.
As part of our Going for Zero Pledge, over the next 90 days, Walt and I will be taking and monitoring our blood pressure with the Omron Evolv Wireless Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor. I will be bringing the results of our readings and talking to you more about the importance of regular blood pressure monitoring at home and how that can help lead to the elimination of heart attacks and strokes. Watch for three more blog posts that can help you and your family work to eliminate your cardiac events.

Project Zero 2.0 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is an ultra-compact and stylish medical device that measures blood pressure with clinical accuracy at the push of a button.
I learned that it is better to monitor your blood pressure rather than checking it once in a while. This is important to me because my doctor is attempting to make it so that I don’t have to take my beta blockers. And blood pressure is always significantly higher at the doctor than it is when taking it at home.
I like the idea of changing the idea of checking blood pressure to “monitoring.”
I learned that Omron is trying to change people’s perspective on heart disease. For example, using the term monitoring blood pressure instead of checking.
I learned that this site is about heart healthy lifestyle. Also, about monitoring blood pressure and how to act on it.
I’ve learned that in a tech savvy world the Omron Evolv Blood Pressure monitor has bluetooth capabilities and you can sync your readings to your smart phone this is very haandy
I learned that Omron also has TENS units for chronic pain management
That high blood pressure is a silent killer
LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST – CHECK YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE AND EAT HEALTHY!
I learned that with Bluetooth technology you can monitor your trends and share your readings with family or your doctor or can be used without a smart device. I really like that you about this monitor, this would be perfect for my mom who has to take hers twice a day.
I learned that normal range is 120 over 80. Mine is never that low even on medication for quite awhile.
this would come in really handy in my house with two senior citizens
We really have bine talking about having and how very important it is. Wish me luck!!!!
I learned that normal blood pressure is under 120 and 80.They have machines that can check your blood pressure with your wrist.
After reading the chart I learned more what the numbers actually indicate when your blood pressure is checked.
I learned that Omron is dedicated to saving lives…their goal 0 heart attacks and 0 strokes…that is a lofty goal, but heartwarming how much they care.
I really like that the Evolv upper am monitor measures multiple points and eliminates inaccuracies from movement. Movement always makes it very hard to get a good reading when you are dealing with certain people. I think this monitor would be a fabulous product for my family as my husband and I are caregivers for our elderly parents.
Omron has been working for over 40 years! Their headquarters is in Kyoto, Japan.
I learned that it is not enough to know your blood pressure numbers you have to act on them. I know this personally because I am on meds for high blood pressure.
Checking blood pressure can prevent heart attacks and strokes. I would love to have this because I get awful anxiety and my heart rate often gets high on my FitBIt.
